Hello,
I have a Russian dwarf hamster living in this cage - https://www.petsathome.com/shop/en/p...c-hamster-home.
From what I understand, it's too small to be comfortable for her, but my parents (who never wanted a hamster in the first place, and only agreed because we adopted Snowflake because she was in the pet store for nearly 4 months and no one bought her) are refusing to even talk about getting a bigger cage. According to them, she's 'just a hamster' and is 'going to die soon anyway'. I've tried changing their mind but they don't listen to any of the reasons I give.
I feel so sorry for Snowflake, I don't know what to do. Is there any way I can make her life more enjoyable? Is her cage really terrible or not?
